booms has managed unintentionally to cause
the great sensation of the week, and to bring out
Commissioner Oberly's illumination against

letter, as is known, was directed mainly against
the Illinois Democratic Association, and the
Illinois Democratic Association is General
Blacks boom. How Mr.. Oberly came to pune
ture his friends bag is the question which is
agitating Illinois politicians but the friendliest
of them are ready with the suggestion, borrowed
from base ball circles. that 1t was in the nature
of a sacrifice hit Oberly saw that the boom WAS
getting away with the General, and. friend,
had to do some thing. He knew that it was i'm
mere argument. and he adopted the heroic
course. The result can be expressed in few
words. The boom is badly damaged, but there
is still some hope of digging the General out of
the wreck.
Washington Special
A considerable proportion of the heavy volume
of government teegraphing to and from this
city has been transacted over the Baltimore &
Ohio wires. The absorbing of that company by
the Western Union leaves Mackey's United and
Postal Lines the only competing wires from this
point, and will probably lend force to the move
ment in the next Congress to establish some sort
of government control over the telegraph serv-
ice. 1t has been suggested that an effort will be
made to extend the principle of the Interstate
commerce law to telegraph communication.

The charms of the California winter eli
mate are becoming we'll understood in the
East, and it is evident that larger number
of tourists than ever before in single sea-
son will cross the continent the coming
winter. Messrs. Raymond and Whitcomb
are making their famous excursions more
popular than ever, not only in an increased
number of trips and widening their scope on
the Pacific coast, but in presenting choice
of routes and, above all, in providing their
new and surpassed accommodations for the
comfort and enjoyment of their passengers.
Their new trains of vestibuled Pullman pal
ace cars are the finest productions of the
kind yet built. Dining cars will be run
across the continent on every train. This
feature of itself is important, since it en-
sures meals at regular hours, and the fact
that the management of the dining cars has
been entrusted to the commissary depart
ment of the Pullman company is a sufficient
guaranty of the excellence of the menu. Two
parties will leave Boston early in December,
one starting Monday, December 5, and going
through to the famous Hotel del Monte at
Monterey, which has just been reopened, and
the other leaving Thursday, December 8, for
the Raymond at East Pasadena, and Los
Angeles. Vestibuled trains will be run in
connection with both trips. Circulars giving
full particulars of the winter trips may be
obtained of W. Raymond, 296 Washington
street, Opposite School street, Boston.

Death of Young Man Formerly Well
Known Here.
The many friends of Charles d. Davis,
formerly of New Haven and a nephew of
Hiram Camp, will learn with regret of his
death, which occurred November I'd at his
home in Churchville, N. Y. The deceased
has ever been sufferer from rheumatic
affection in his ankle and about one year ago
the symptoms of consumption appeared. He
was born in Rochester, but moved to New
Haven in 1871 and resided for some time on
State street, near foot of Trumbull. He was
engaged for some time at the clock manu-
factory. He married Miss Sarah E. Rawling,
a niece of Professor B. Jepson, and resided
here until 1888, when he returned to his old
home. His death, which came very sudden
ly at the end, was severe blow to his family
and friends. The funeral took place on Sat
urday, November 5, and was very largely at
tended by residents of the village, all husi-
ness being suspended. His twin brother and
counterpart, being absent in California, was
of course unable to be present.

Experienced Referees Needed No
Chinese Labor Prices q hat a II eff.
cree Thinks.
The following from the Hartford Sunday
Journal is attributed in New Haven to Ref
cree Warren H. Goldsmith. They think it
affords food for thought:
The Connecticut league now has two referees Out
of the five who have on previous occasions shown
prevent rough work by the players. Service, and
not the city they live in is the only claim these
see polo Clean and scientific games will attract
other sort viii draw together crowd composed OF
neither ladies nor gentlemen. The moral is plain
to the 1efegee IN Whom the peone have
confidence keep them busy. The two
referred to should in all reason have
substitutes. Such is the opinion of those who pat
ronize the sport If the best referees are worth
ira attendance caused by their work will pay more
than hundred fold And besides n good r, refe-
have games enough to make refereeing an object
81 hm s beng out until in the
ing If, however, the managers Of the league pre-
fer referees at Chinese labor prices that is quite
another thing-they're welcome to them.
The same paper says as follows: "W. H.
Goldsmith, of this city, was appointed a ref
cree at the polo meeting last week. The
league will now have two competent men at
least" All right, "Goldie," but what will
Perkins, Myers and Wilder say to thiss
SIT looks as though the two competent %
referees from Hartford were trying to force
the league managers to pay So per game, and
then they have the nerve to ask for all the
games, using the others as substitutes" said
a polo enthusiast last evening. EWhy should
the Connecticut league pay any more than
is paid in the Central league of Massaehu-
sets? They ought to know what referees
are worth up there. Daniels and Goldsmith
are both good men, to be sure, but they
must not expect to have everything.
"Perkins is a well known player and ought
to make a good referee. He knows the
game better than any of them and is just the
man for the place.
81 tell you I'd like this position for So per
game and expenses" The New Haven mana
ger is willing to pay if the rest do.
Assistant Manager Macdonald sent Cookies
release to the Sa1ems on Monday night and

A meeting of the Central division was held
